Mary O’Donnell of the Bon Secours Cosmetic and Hair Restoration Clinic, on Skinade, a product which would make a lovely gift for Christmas…
If you are looking for a good boost to your skin for Christmas, Skinade maybe your answer. I have been a fan for years and really see find it gives the skin a lovely glow .
Skinade is a collagen supplement, loved by glowing celebrities like Victoria Beckham , Millie Macintosh,Emma Louise Connolly, Jen Atkin and Frankie Gaff to name but a few.
Skinade is a drink that supports the skin all over your body. It works from the inside out to rebuild your collagen matrix below the skin surface.
It boots hydration and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. As we age , we loose collagen at the rate of 1.5% per year from our early twenties. This loss results in wrinkles , fine lines , dry, blemished and thinning skin.
Collagen is a critical part of the structure of the dermis and gives our skin its plumpness. Drinking skinade results in firmer more even toned, hydrated, radiant , youthful and healthier looking skin.
It contains collagen peptides and Vitamin B complex , Vitamin C , lysine and omega 3&6. As well as working on your skin, it will also work on healthier and faster growing hair and nails.
Skinade is available in the Cosmetic and Hair Restoration Clinic for €130, where you can reserve your skinade for you or someone special.
Pay towards it every week and collect it before the big day – beautifully wrapped. For more information check out www.bonsecourschrc.ie

Rónán Ó Snodaigh, better known for his singing with the group Kíla, has had weekends at home for the first time in thirty years as all gigging stopped.
He spent the year writing songs, playing and practising music and reflecting over his career. 2020 has been a year of ups and downs for Rónán and Kíla, live touring came to an abrupt halt midway through their European St Patricks weekend tour.
Myles O’Reilly is a musician, composer and filmmaker from Dublin, who has filmed, directed and edited over 100 music video promo’s and 20+ music documentaries of Irish musicians at home and abroad, some of which include Glen Hansard, Villagers, Imelda May, Lisa O’Neill, Ye Vagabonds, Sinead O’Connor and Lisa Hannigan alongside a host of International artists.
Myles was a member of the band Juno Falls who signed for two albums by Sony UK and then V2 records, before disbanding in 2010.
Ten years later and in a global pandemic lockdown, Myles returned to making music and has since composed, recorded and released a plethora of works in the ‘ambient’ music genre under the moniker [Indistinct Chatter].
Landless are Ruth Clinton, Meabh Meir, Sinead Lynch and Lily Power.
They sing unaccompanied traditional songs from Irish, Scottish, English and American traditions in close four-part harmony.
Their repertoire features songs of love, death and lamentation, as well as work songs, shape-note hymns and more recently penned folk songs.
Landless have performed in a variety of settings, both in Ireland and abroad, and are closely involved with traditional singing sessions in Dublin and Belfast. Landless released their debut album Bleaching Bones in March 2018.
Recorded by John ‘Spud’ Murphy (Lankum/Katie Kim) of Guerrilla Studios in a series of reverb-heavy historic churches across Ireland and the occasional underground tunnel.

Ann, who took on the challenge in memory of her late sister, Pauline Lynch, who sadly passed away unexpectedly in December 2019, finished the six day cycle of over 530 kilometres on Saturday, October 2.

Norma’s husband Gerard said that he works mainly nights and evenings, so his wife is on her own most of the time, but never complains despite being in some pain as she awaits a knee replacement.
The annual awards seek to recognise and shine a light on the remarkable contribution of Ireland’s forgotten frontline who go the extra mile every day in caring for loved ones with additional needs.
More than 500,000 people in Ireland provide unpaid care in the home for children or adults with physical or intellectual disabilities, frail older people, those with palliative care needs or those living with chronic illnesses, mental ill-health, or addiction.
Cork Kerry Carer Supports Manager Peter Cox said: “Now more than ever, family carers deserve to be recognised for their enormous contribution to our society. Their unyielding commitment to care for their loved ones at home, particularly during the Covid-19 crisis, has been nothing short of remarkable and this sacrifice often comes at a cost to their physical, emotional, and financial wellbeing.
“These awards are about paying tribute to all of Ireland’s 500,000 family carers and shining a light on the immense work that they do, day in, day out, often with little or no help from the State. Their essential contribution to our national healthcare system needs to be properly acknowledged and supported.”
